This book was a nice, light read. I particularly enjoyed the queer representation in some of the side characters, and the dynamic way all the characters in the book were written.

What a unique mix of emotions in this book! I liked it well enough during the first half, but the second half is where the story really shone. Spooky, joyful, tragic, and wholesome — this one will definitely stay with me for a while.

“…a romance that is frank about the fact that life ends and time marches on but that nevertheless insists: We aren’t a gothic horror novel. We’re a love story.“
